Junkanoo

Junkanoo is a street parade with music that takes place in many towns across the Bahamas every Boxing Day and New Year’s Day with the largest parade happening in the capital of Nassau. A colorful demonstration of the Bahamas’ African Diaspora culture, Junkanoo is a great arena for Bahamian goombay music and local costumes; the nation’s freedom and past is also celebrated through this event. Incidentally, a Nassau Junkanoo parade is featured in the James Bond film Thunderball.
